THE RUMOR OF THE LAGOON 4 – Chinese patrons make their revolution in parallel festival palace where Japanese Chiaru Shiota goes every public votes. Demonstration in one day and four case study of a trend of less and less underground.
On the eve of the charts that will give Saturday noon the winners of the 56th Venice Biennale, dark, war and politics as his Nigerian Okwui Enwezor Commissioner, the winners are already there. They have multiple faces such as Asia. The huge Chinese high wave that saw the birth museum foundation after private museum. In South Korea, well-established in international art networks in the image of the Gwangju Biennale born in 1995 (its founder Yongwoo Lee is restricted in the jury of this 56th Venice Biennale), private museums Samsung empire and its shock galleries, Kukje and Hyundai. Japan ravaged Fukushima dreamed in a fog of blood red wire and lost keys by artist Chiharu Shiota – unanimous heart stroke of festival – the distant Vietnam while reminiscences, traces and symbols of the artist Danh Vo representing Denmark in the Giardini and runs all Venice to Punta della Dogana.
They come from far horizons and different generations, but striking in their impassive ambition and great hunger to exist. Whether introspective masters of Korean monochrome, the “Dansaekhwa” that followed the Korean civil war and 4 million deaths, sound values of abstraction as America, France and Venice rediscovering with candor and interest . Or they speak with contemporary vocabulary and spectacular amenities, cobbled and playful as young Chinese Zheng Guogu and Yangjiang Group. They turned the Palazzo Morosini in playground. The Princely Generali property is for the first time open to art for the launch of Asia Now, new French platform Claude Fain and Ami Barak devoted to Asian art (they will be found at the Espace Cardin in fall). They are basically worn by collectors and prodigious patrons, Budi Tek, Indonesian Shanghai, alleged sponsor of the Centre Pompidou, or Adrian Cheng, the young billionaire in Hong Kong and patron of the Palais de Tokyo, making their way with a smile.

In a day, they were all valid. Thursday noon, Asia Now doing his com offensive in Venice with great energy, gathering in Campo Stefano around a Duddell’s cocktail, the two stars of Hong Kong, all China enthusiasts like Dominique and Sylvain Levy, collectors the first hour and founders of sharp and interactive magazine, DSL . Attention “ Nietzsche is dead! After Suicide dirty! … “
Last Day. Shop of Frozen Entities, work
Already seen at the 2003 Venice Biennale, Documenta XII in 2007 to Biennale de Lyon 2009 and the Auckland Triennial in 2013, Zheng Guogu and Yangiang Group have transformed an old factory bankrupt shoes amazing facility where white wax shoe covers, shelves, line work and willingness to mercatile a thick layer of snow wax ( Last Day. Shop of Frozen Entities ). Guests were seen in this present frozen by the wax a convincing metaphor of capitalism with Chinese characteristics.

The second is Japan, concentrated, and almost mystical secret as the “Woman of ice” the legendary filmmaker Masaki Kobayashi ( Kwaidan Fantastic Film 1964). Chiharu Shiota metamorphosis Japanese pavilion ocean of red son (over 400 km), where two boats to drown, a scarlet cloud of blood from which descend a multitude of worn keys (180,000!).

It has barely inaugurated its lee ufan Space in Busan in the southeast of Korea, but is happy to show in Venice its stone sculptures, with their cross shadows, dreamy, at the Grove of the Star in Versailles, as in Capitol Arles. Any exposure is beautiful, major pieces of a sensual abstraction based much after the visual chaos of a biennial. Park Seo Bo, Master Lee Ufan, was there in the flesh. His new French dealer Emmanuel Perrotin, too. Round and warm, Ha Chong Yung, the painter who did cross the canvas pictorial matter, was escorted from his American gallery Blum & amp; Poe was – well – off its coast. At a time when contemporary art worth renew itself, many merchants who invest in these veterans undercut the table.
The fourth Asian to triumph in Venice is Indonesian. A man became a figure of Shanghai. On an immediate and palpable intelligence, Budi Tek is a determined collector who rose almost mathematically, with the rigor of the financial and he was buried fiery volcano. He opened a huge private museum in Shanghai, will open another in Bali, is an enthusiastic friend of François Pinault, is courted by all major Western museums already legendary for his generosity.
